Just a reminder re: submitting posts:

Try to keep your posts related to Nabokov or Nabokov studies, and remember that they will be read by hundreds of subscribers.

Please avoid messages meant solely for individuals or anything that could be construed as a personal attack on someone else.

If possible, limit your posts to a few each week, so that the conversation flows freely among many contributors. (If necessary, consolidate your replies to individual postings by others instead of replying to each one.) At the same time, if you haven't posted anything recently, or ever, we would love to hear from you! Share a passage from VN that you especially like, or tell us your personal take on Nabokov. If you're a scholar, please let us know about your most recent projects, whether they are publications or presentations or works in progress.

Also, if you can remember to do so, please indicate the content of your post using all caps to introduce the subject heading, using one of these tags:

ANNC [for Annoucements]
CFP [for a Call for Papers]
BIB [for Bibliographical Information regarding a recent or forthcoming publication]
WIP [for Work in Progress]
QUERY [for a request for answers to a specific research question]
SIGHTING [for a previously unreported reference to VN]
NEWS [for any other factual information related to VN]
CORRECTION [for clarification or correction of a previous post]
THOUGHTS [for individual reflections about VN's life and work] -- this is the most popular!

Finally, if you have second thoughts after you submit a post and would like to revise it or withdraw it, send a message directly to me at nabokv-l@holycross.edu (not to the listserv) with a subject heading like "RETRACTION."

Thanks!

Susan Elizabeth Sweeney

Co-Editor, NABOV-L
